[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
I believe it's because University Students within the UK can get the tablets for free, via their bursaries. The bursary cannot be transferred into cash, and can be used to purchase books, or an eBook reader (yep, you guessed it - a Nook HD or HD+). I purchased a Nook HD+ using my bursary, and have gifted it to my dad, after Rooting and GAPPS.

I purchased it for £270, but on eBay they sell for cheap for the reasons listed above. But selling it that cheap is the only way these University students can convert their bursary into actual cash. I'm a university student myself, and it happens all the time. But I don't buy and sell these, I'm actually trying to save my bursary. I've only purchased on Nook HD+ for my dad, and that's it.

That could be one reason. You may find that a lot of the tablets are located around Manchester, Greater Manchester and/or Lancashire. If so, then I'm pretty sure I know which uni. If not, then it may be from another university, or nothing related to university - just a genuine seller. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorrowuk:
Thats interesting, I've noticed lots seem to appear from Manchester. Are they uni's doing something different from others ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkobayashi:
Just to chip in, I got my Nook HD 8Gb (not HD+) for a bargain price of £80 buy it now on eBay. A full 50% discount on RRP over here. Seller didn't say why he was selling, nor why his BIN price was so low. I would guess that like others have said, B&N just isn't a properly recognised bookseller over here, and sellers might guess that buyers will be put off by a non-Amazon device.

Received my device on Tuesday afternoon, by the evening I was running CM 10.1, thanks to all the good work by bokbokan. People are missing out because these devices make cracking tablets as well as ereaders.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consti83:
Thank you very much for your comment. That sounds like a very logical reason! Actually I'm a student in the UK as well but unfortunately only as an exchange studend for 2 terms. I guess therefore I wont be eligible for any if those bursaries. I think I will just buy one of these tablets on ebay and go with CM 10.1 ! Why don't you use a Nook HD+ for yourself ;)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
CM10.1 is very stable on the HD. Not so stable on the HD+ since there is only one preliminary build for it.

i think i did the same thing - having waited months for 3 uk to release jb update i reverted my phone back to stock ics ruu (downloaded from xda) and updated to jb via 3 uk ota, then after getting 1.39 hboot i unlocked and flashed renovate rom in such a hurry forgot to take a backup!

wouldn't worry though as we're not likely to see anothe hboot update before dev for the phone stops! just make sure you have a cwm backup of a working version of your phone and all will be good.. unless i've got the wrong end of the stick :confused:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Don't worry ? I would worry if i where you, im kinda shocked you say things like this. What about a hardware defect and you want to send it in for warranty.....ever considered that !

Always make sure you can go back to stock !

And about the hboot update.....you never know, its HTC !

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
I updated to 4.2.2 the other day, and it appeared that I lost both root and my custom recovery (TWRP), but my bootloader remained unlocked. Root-specific actions wouldn't work (e.g., TB wouldn't work, no access to root in Solid Explorer or Root Explorer, AdAway stopped working, etc.). This was despite having survival mode activated in SuperSu. I also learned I couldn't boot into recovery when I tried to restore a nandroid I made prior to updating.

Somehow though, root reappeared and everything works as normal, except I still cannot boot into recovery.

Any clue why my custom recovery disappeared permanently but root was preserved (albeit, root not preserved at first, but it DID end up coming back)? Also, can I just re-flash TWRP as I normally would?

Thanks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
Strange first I've heard of that with the N10. I would try to reinstall TWRP with Goomanager.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] three west:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
I might have misunderstood, did you guys do the OTA? Got my forums mixed up thought we were talking about flashing CleanROM.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
No worries. And yeah, I did the OTA, but held off until Google pushed a notification to my N10 for the update. I'll give goomanager a try. Appreciate the replies. Thanks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
This is normal behaviour in a OTA update. Installs a couple of files that, if a custom recovery is installed, reflash stock recovery on reboot. This doesn't happen if you flash a factory image.

A bit off topic but, there was the need to have device at stock condition (everything stock) before running OTA process, but as of now and personal experience, twrp 2.4.1.0 can also run an OTA update straight from Android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
Thanks - I'll give goomanager a try.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali87:
I assumed the same, but I got the same situation as OP, I'll try reinstalling TWRP using Nexus Root Toolkit, or does goomanager have a special functionality for those conditions?

Update: Used NRT to install TWRP in the advanced settings, worked beautifully.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planet_x69:
The latest Google OTA's are not successfully installing unless you restore stock recovery fist and some are failing if you are rooted as well.

Best bet if you are running as rooted or custom recovery is to backup first, un-root, restore stock then sideload the OTA. This will save you lots of frustration and heartburn.

It's easy enough to restore stock and to re-root so just make it part of your ota routine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bresch:
Hello!

Background:

I flashed aokp_maguro_jb-mr1_build-3 yesterday and everything worked fine until I wanted to change kernel to a franco one. I already had the fraco.kernel updater free installed so I figured I'd just download and flash it automaticly. though somehow it downloaded and flashed an older version (milestone4 I think) so after I rebooted it got stuck at "Google".

I tried rebooting a few times and changed to a kernel.zip I had on the phone from earlier (not the one that came with the original aokp) and the phone got stuck at "starting apps" after the upgrading android sequence.

Anyhow I then read up on some stuff on how to push a proper kernel and pushed the newest nightly franco(r364) through adb.

The actual problem:

So I now had a phone that booted properly again! Only problem was that somewhere along the line something happened and now non of my apps have access to the storage..

If I use my phone explorer total commander I can access the file system root but under /storage there's only a file that takes 0B that's called "sdcard0". All the stuff I had on my sdcard is still under /data/media/0/. There's also the /data/media/legacy and /data/media/obb.

Something to note is that I can still use clockwork recovery as normal and access the sdcard through /sdcard/0/.

What I'm wondering now is what my next course of action should be. I read that some people with similar problems didn't get it fixed through a simple wipe/reflash so I figured I'd ask the pros here first before I do something more stupid..

If something is unclear, feel free to ask and I'll try to rephrase it or explain it further.

Thank you for your time!

Update: Grew tired and factoryreset/wipe + dalvik wipe and reflash seems to have sorted the issue. rebooted a few times and changed kernel to the same franco nightly as before and I still don't get the problem again.

although my stuff seems to be mirrored to a few places now including in storage where I'm used to be seeing the stuff (storage/0) but also under legacy and in root where there's a new folder called "sdcard". But I'm guessing this is normal with 4.2.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hermanj:
I want to downgrade from CMW 6.x (that comes with KernelPanic) to CWM 5.x, because with CWM 6 you cannot restore a backup. Using CWM 6 the android.secure-backup part is corrupted and therefore all applications on SD are gone.

I tried various methods like x-part, copying files to /system/bin and /system/xbin and one-click-installs using adb, but it will not replace the CWM 6.x. Is that because it's somehow build in with the kernel (in KernelPanic)? Or am I missing something? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Yes, exactly. Because it's built in kernel. In ramdisk to be precise.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
u have to flash a kernel that have cwm 5.

this is the only solution
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
copy the android_secure.vfat.tar part of the backup to your computer .

Use 7z or WinRar to extract the file

You will find a bunch of files with extension .asec

Attach your phone to computer ...

Navigate to .android_secure

copy the asec files to android_secure

Profit !!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
yes, this is the way of restoring that data manually to sd card.

Thanks for all the answers. I will install the Radeon Kernel, which is quite fast also and has CWM 5 in it.

Hello guys I've been reading some of the update threads around here and still can find my answer .. so here I come ready for bashing but hopefully an guide too ..

As title said Stock N7000 no other mod apart from rooted which I did from the day one I had it .. can't recall the exact method I use but it works flawless ..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feartheanonymity:
You should be able to update to JB from GB without any issues as the JB ROM will have a kernel included.

what I would suggest to do is download philz kernel for JB (any one) and flash it, once flashed DO NOT REBOOT just go to advanced and select 'reboot recovery' Now you will be in a new JB kernels CWM, from here you can go to philz settings and select 'clean for new ROM'

Once done, Flash the JB ROM of your choice and then continue with the install method for that ROM.

NB: The JB ROM & Files must be on your SD card before you flash philz kernel.
